As with all new Priest releases, the band will embark on a mammoth worldwide tour in support of Nostradamus. Priest will be performing at the 2008 Download Festival which will serve as a homecoming of sorts, as they performed at the first-ever 'Monsters of Rock Festival' at Donington Park in 1980.

The Download Festival takes place between 13-15 June 2008 at Donington and is an award-winning event, crowned 'Top Festival of 2007' by Billboard magazine. This year's line-up includes Kiss, OffSpring, LostProphets, Judas Priest, Motorhead, HIM, Rise Against and many more.

Weekend tickets are 130 pounds, with day tickets at just 60. You can get yours here.
